Cory Loebl and Becky Holliday
were voted the 2001 track MVPs
by their coaches and teammates,
both earning their title as record
holders in their events, Loebl in the

They are nationally ranked in their
events.

Cory Loebl (right) and Becky Holliday (left), were named as the Clackamas male and female track
MVP's for 2001 in a vote of their coaches and teammates last week. Loebl and Holliday each won
two events at the NWAACC championships and received All-American honors as a result.
throw of 100-2. He also had the
second-furthest hammer throw in
school history. Loebl won first
place in the hammer and discus at
NWAACC and only missed first
place in the shot put by Vi inch. He
also set a championship meet
record in the discus.
Holliday is the national junior
college record holder in the pole
vault. Her final vault of the year, a
whopping 14-4 ft., won her first
place at the NWAACC Champion
ships. Holliday also ran the sec
ond fastest 400 meters in the na
tion and is ranked second in the
nation in that event. She is a two
time All-American in both the pole
vault and the 4x400 relay, and much
like Loebl, is a team player.
“Both of them are good team
people,” said Head Coach Jack
Kegg. “They inspired the rest of
the team.”

Coach of the Year honors go to Hickey
Third award for
Clackamas graduate

Mike Hickey received the 2001
Coach'of the Year awards for men’s
and women’s cross-country last
week; he also won last year for
men’s cross-country making a to
tal of three awards so far in his
coaching career.
Hickey first came to CCC in 1992
as a student. During his two years
in Clackamas’ track program,
Hickey was the NWAACC cham
pion in the 5K and a member of
the men’s cross-country team that
placed first both years. From there,
Hickey worked in Seattle on an in
ternship when he got a call to be
interviewed for the cross-country
coaching job here. Hickey was
hired, and since has won three
Coach of the Year awards.
Last year at the awards ban
quet, Mike Hodges, Hickey’s
coach during his years as a Cou
gar, was inducted into the hall of

cross-country championship last November.
fame. Hodges is partly responsible
for the successful coach that
Hickey is today. As a high school
student, Hickey only had medio
cre grades, but Hodges helped
him improve as both a student and
athlete. For that, Hickey is grate
ful.
“He is a great man. He really
helped me develop as an adult,”
said Hickey. “I really owe him a
lot.”
It was also the years that Hickey
spent under Hodges that he
learned the importance of a good
team environment.
“From that point, I started to re
alize that the culture of a team is
very important,” said Hickey. “You
need to create a confident environ
ment in which people are positive
and they believe in themselves and
their teammates.”
Teamwork is especially impor
tant to Hickey. Contrary to what
people may think, track is a team
sport. And that is one thing that
he is trying to push.
“It’s not an individual sport.. .if
you’re in a running program where
it’s an individual sport, you’re re
ally missing out on a big part of
running,” said Hickey. “It’s a thing
where every single person on a
team effects every other person.”
Clackamas’ cross-country team’s
performance at NWAACC reflects
Hickey’s coaching ability and well-
deserved honor.
“I think we had such a huge meet
at championships ...I wasn’t sur
prised to win one of them,” said
Hickey. “But I was surprised to win
both.”
Hickey wasn’t the only person
who was surprised. Other people
in the conference were as well. But
that’s the way Hickey likes it.
“I’ve always been a guy that
likes to be underrated,” said
Hickey. “No one expected us to
repeat, and it was great.. .my whole
approach is to show everyone that
we are the best.”
